The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What skills does a CCO need to navigate the compliance waters in any company successfully? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced, and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this podcast series. This month, my guest is Scott Garland, Managing Director at AMI. He came to AMI from the DOJ, where he held the role of Professional Responsibility Officer and described it as akin to a CCO role for the US Attorney's Office for Massachusetts.

Garland's Bachelor's Degree was more analytical than most CCO types as he entered MIT to major in software engineering and graduated with a B.Sc. in Economics. After college, he worked as a statistical research associate at a consulting company and decided he wanted to bridge analysis to policy, so he went to the University of Michigan Law School for his law school degree. He then held a federal judicial clerkship and worked at two mid-sized law firms, practicing white-collar criminal defense and some litigation, including constitutional law.
